Good free firewall - NOT ZoneAlarm!
witch:
Sorry, got side-tracked into virus solutions. I went through an online tutorial to block all the ports in my router that I'm not specifically using. Then you can go to a place to test if you're vulnerable. I should re-check. I don't use any other firewalls except the hardware one in my router.
Cimaronna:
I'd like to add my endorsement of Avira Antivir. When I downloaded it, my old Norton subscription had expired. I also had Zone Alarm and some other thing (must not have been very impressive, huh?). Anyway, when I ran Antivir, it caught viruses the other three together didn't. I don't think I'll be using anything else. ;)
sloppyhousewife:
I changed from ZoneAlarm to avast recently and am pretty happy with it, especially because ZA had more than just a few problems with the latest XP update and wouldn't let me go online. Plus, avast found spyware on my PC that went unnoticed by Antivir as well as AdAware.

I'm currently using F-Secure as it came free for 3 months along with my shiny free Broadband. Before that I had Norton but it seemed too 'Danger, Danger Will Robinson!' I don't think I'll go back :D I might stick with F-Secure as it is unobtrusive and reliable. I have crappy Windows Firewall too as a backup.
I liked F-Secure at v6.xx, but since ditched it in favour of Kaspersky. Too much lag in the new version. It was excellent as an AV, but as a firewall it was quite weak.
Emma:
Yeah, that's why I've enabled the Windows Firewall too.
